Kristy and I saw the trailer for Invincible during our screenings of the Pirates 2 and Pirates 3 movies. It look interesting enough to both of us that we decided to bubble it up to the top of our on-line Blockbuster queue. We watched the movie tonight. It was quite good, we both enjoyed it very much. The movie is based on the true story of Vincent Papale (played by Mark Wahlberg), a former professional football player for the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite not having played any college football, then 30-yr-old Papale tried out for the Eagles during an open workout and made the team. It's a movie made in the same vein as The Rookie and Rocky... about a local down-on-his-luck nobody that makes it to the big time. Even if the story was embellished somewhat, it was still pleasing to watch and fun to root for Papale to succeed.
